Suzanne Schwalb – Editor

Editor. Writer. Proofreader. Thoughtful. Conscientious. Seeking non-fiction projects, especially those involving quirky topics.

Overview

Many years' experience working for employers and clients in Publishing, Marketing, and Advertising. Employers include Peter Pauper Press, Rail Europe, Doubleday Book Clubs, Ingram Book Company, Thomas Nelson, and Abingdon Press. Freelance clients include Doubleday, Chelsea House, Bloom's Literary Criticisms, Facts on File/Infobase Publishing, Thomas Nelson, Pernod-Ricard, Kraft Foods, Celestial Seasonings, Del Monte Foods, Dannon, and healthcare and financial firms, among others. I have co-authored a nonfiction book for Skyhorse Publishing.

Collaboration is key, and clients find me to be caring as well as diligent. I am eager to assist in taking your project to the next level. Storytelling skills are also vital, and I have attended several seminars on the art of story with Robert McKee and completed UCLA's online screenwriting course with Richard Walter.
